About
Sepi S. Khonsari is a urological surgeon and educator whose work centers on surgical education, robotic-assisted surgery, and the integration of advanced technologies into clinical practice. Her most notable contribution is the development and assessment of a structured “mini-residency” program for robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), designed to help practicing urologists acquire new surgical skills. Her landmark 2006 study, with 59 citations, demonstrated the short-term impact of this intensive training model, showing that even experienced surgeons could successfully incorporate RALP into their practice after a focused, mentored experience. This work has been influential in shaping how surgical societies and training programs approach the dissemination of complex, technology-driven procedures. Beyond this, Khonsari’s research addresses the broader challenges of surgical education, skill transfer, and the safe adoption of innovation in urology. Her contributions have helped establish benchmarks for competency-based training in robotic surgery, making her a key figure in the evolution of modern urological practice and surgical pedagogy.
